Numbers 11:12-13


I am not able to carry all this people alone; the burden is too heavy for me.

Respect Those Who Labor Among You1 Thessalonians 5:12-13

Synopsis: For Moses, leading the people of Israel was a great burden as he faced constant challenges to his authority and motives. In this lesson we examine our own tendency to tear down those whom our God has chosen to lead us, and contrast that with the instruction to respect, esteem, obey and submit to them.

“Let all that you do be done with love.”
